Why did you decide to get an rv?
For us its been a slow progression.
After WW II army box canvas tents and wood frame cots and tarps were plentiful. And so was leaks. If you have ever slept under one of those old canvas tarps in a rain storm laying on a cot you know about leaks. New gen tent material were unheard of back then.
My dad was a "fisherman" and was on a river bank or on one of the many large COE/GRDA lakes here in eastern OK most weekends. Along with tents was packing Coleman stoves/ice chests/bedding/food and every thing else for a family of 4-6 to make it.
Tents and cots gave way to station wagons.
Which gave way to pickup trucks with a 8' truck camper in the late '60s......then a 9 1/2' TC....then a 10 1/2' TC and pulling a boat.
Which gave way to a 5th wheel trailer/boat in the early '80s.
A rv made it so much easier. No more packing everything and then unpacking each time we went to the lake/camping.
